OP has posted several videos of himself harassing the homeless and seems to miss the nuances of the housing crisis and systemic discrimination. That or he just enjoys harassing people and making himself feel superior.
Well, it might be more insightful to look at the reasons why these individuals are in this situation in the first place. Discrimination limits the opportunities afforded to many and can force them down a path in which being poor is punished with higher fees, therefore exacerbating their situation. Of course their finances are not the only areas that are impacted. Mental health services are generally only afforded to those who can pay the steep prices, and mental health can similarly become a feedback loop. Ignoring the discrimination that may occur before someone becomes homeless, homelessness itself can limit your opportunities severely. Having nowhere to prepare for interviews, keep your clothes clean, or no reliable form of transportation can make you a hard sell to employers, which obviously makes the position difficult to get out of.
I love how people are so disgusted with homeless having a cell phone. That shit ain’t as much as rent. How you gonna get a job without a phone? What the fuck do you want from these people man?
SyStEMaTiC DiScRiMiNaTiOn.. drug addicts and drifters.. and you are the enabler that’s sitting at the table while this place burns saying everything is fine!
One thing is being homeless another is sitting around and not even trying, just getting your government check and doing drugs. Why should society suffer because these people refuse to do anything productive.
He is. Someone who has never experienced hardship or worked with the homeless, only surface-level understands (most things), then forms judgment. The truly douchey part is not keeping it to himself, not keeping his horribleness confined…no, he has to be waving his ignorance around for all to see.
Do you take in homeless people? I always find it ironic, that people still say this like it's some sort of valid point. Those of us who actually *do* take in homeless people, are very appreciative of the people using their words and voices to remove the stigma around homelessness. WTF are YOU doing?
I know you’re being a cunt but to answer your question honestly. Food, water, socks, blanket, baby wipes, toilet paper, sleeping bag or just ask them what you can do to help.
Man i get why you're reacting this way but i get his point of view also. I've lived near something like this and by a drug den. Walking home from work or to the store at night just wasn't safe.
i lived in a neighborhood like that, a crackhead lady wandered around our neighborhood and used the ditch we lived next to to get into the wooded area behind our house so she could go smoke with her buddies. my stepdad had to chew her out once because she was trying to talk to my little sister who was playing in the backyard. she somehow didnt see my 6 foot tall stepdad standing right there. of course when the cops were called there was nothing they could do since she didnt enter the property and left when told to leave.
How? They are in public. They have no expectation of privacy. They are committing crimes. They have no expectation of not being recorded while in the commission of those crimes.
Down on your luck is one thing. Trying to stay afloat is one thing. Being forced to live on the streets is one thing. But that's not what's happening here and you know it. They are shitting OUR cities up. They are part of our society yet they are refusing to abide by the most basic human civility involved in being part of a society. They want us to GIVE them housing and food and meth and healthcare but they can't be bothered to do so much as throw their garbage into the garbage can. So fuck them.
It’s not they or us.. it’s about all of us together. Houselessness is a serious issue that can literally affect anyone within a blink of an eye. Instead of coming at them with the perspective of them versus you, start seeing them as as a part of you and the world we live in. Approach with love.
I fully agree with you. I am actually a very compassionate and empathetic person. One of my first homes was a VW Bug and I've been close to being homeless several times. If I do someday end up becoming homeless, I should be expected to not throw piles of trash everywhere. I should be expected to respect the land which is owned and maintained by others that I'm staying on. I should be expected to not be stumbling around wacked out of my mind on all kinds of illegal drugs. I should be expected to not destroy businesses and the community around me. If I do all of that, I should expect that people will allow me to just live my life undisturbed just as I am doing with them.
But none of this is what is happening.
Considering homelessness, mental illness, and drug addiction are directly linked, and considering there are NO public trash bins or sanitation stations nearby in that video, let alone dotted around a given town with a high homelessness rate... what exactly are they supposed to do?
You live in a home. Not only are you able to close your front door and hide your trash and clutter that you're too tired to clean up on bad days, but you have easy access to a trash bin that will be regularly emptied by a city worker. You don't have to carry your trash around (without trash bags cause you can't afford that luxury) for several blocks or even miles in the hopes that you'll find a bin or dumpster to put it in. You don't have to pack all of your possessions into a small tent. You don't have to worry about somebody coming along and stealing or confiscating everything you own. You don't have to maintain perfect order and tidiness in your home 24/7 in order for people to think you're "worthy" of a helping hand when you need it. You aren't expected to do any of these things while exhausted and scared and probably depressed or hungry. If you ever choose to do any illegal drugs, you are able to stumble around your living room and ride the high in privacy.
Homeless people cannot do any of those things.
What do you suggest they do instead?
Thank you for the civil feedback.
They are a nuisance. That is NOT because they are homeless or down on their luck or living on the sidewalk. It IS because they make the choice to shit the place up. They don't need busted up washing machines and bicycle parts and shelving units on top of their piles of sopping wet clothes sprawled out into the street and completely blocking sidewalks. They don't need to be tearing the bark off of OUR city trees and burning them down. They don't need to park their RVs literally in the middle of the road. Their being is not a nuisance. How they CHOOSE to treat the sites that WE own and pay for is a nuisance. Again, them being there is unfortunate and options should be provided but them making the choice to turn our cities into shit holes is not acceptable.
I don’t understand how what she is saying is in anyway resentful, can you explain this? I think she makes a very valid point, I volunteer with Foster Children & I have a heart that is too tender many times to cope with the Volunteer position that I am committed to, but I totally don’t see anything inappropriate or unsympathetic toward anyone homeless that she posted. I’m new to Reddit but what I seem to wonder is if people are really reading others post thoroughly or just skimming a few words. I would hope everyone would read a post thoroughly & ponder on the views of others before they respond & be respectful of other people’s feelings.
I have volunteered in a soup kitchen for years feeding the homeless. Ten years ago, I’d agree with you. Most were down on their luck and a few needed mental health care. Now most are entitled drug addicts that expect to get fed but do not want to be forced into housing on the condition of getting sobered up. They’d rather stay high and on the streets. It is going to take tough love to force them into rehab and that may have to include incarceration, or it’s just going to get worse.
I disagree with down on luck as a reason for houselessness. It’s an institutional and societal problem to be on the verge of homelessness or simply down on our luck.
Wow. That comment officially qualifies you as cuck of the week. The girl that threw the bottle was in her early twenties. Poor life decisions. What the hell is wrong with people in Reddit. Get out of your moms basement and live in the real world or pretty soon your moms neighborhood will look this too. Dipshits in their 20s… 🤣
Its so ironic that you accuse others of having no life experience when you don't realise what the life of these people might look like. You might have had the luxury of not being raped by your family members and traumatised to then move to drug or alcohol abuse after not being able to afford therapy. You just don't understand how awful some people's cards are dealt before they fully develop into productive members of society.
You do know there's a large influx of younger homeless people now because of abuse, neglect, being kicked out of their homes for not being accepted or supported by their families, right?
Or that they were trafficked or manipulated into leaving their homes by someone?
Life isn't easy for close to anyone. Life's only getting harder for most out there. The world sucks.
What’s satisfying about harassing the homeless? I’m sorry, you can hate the mess but this isn’t helpful. Speaking from someone who was a frontline worker.
You must really hate yourself OP to be posting videos bashing the poor. Some people can't even afford to fucking live anymore and you gotta post shit like this.
What Jim here doesn't quite get, is that these people aren't out here for a holiday. And while the cost of a cell phone might be oh, say $50/month, the landlord class are out there leaching every last dime out of working people and some people can't afford $2000/mo for 400 sq ft.
This, Jim, is capitalism. And seriously Jim, unless you're helping out, gtfo.
And “this guy had a cell phone” is such a stupid thing to say. A cell phone is a lot cheaper than rent lol and if someone does try to get a job you kind of need that as a resource for responses. This guys just an asshole, “when’s the city going to clean this up?” Like what do you expect them to do?? It should be “when is the city going to try and help these people get on their feet?”
also there are a lot of programs for low-income/unhoused folks to get cheap or free phones and/or plans as well so it may not even be a cost at the moment depending on the individual. it’s a dumb thing to say especially when he is clearly ignorant to said programs and ignoring the possibility of becoming newly homeless, having a job or income to pay for a cheap phone, or even having it paid for by someone else (being on a relative or friends plan)
Exactly. This guy is the kind of person who supports the removal of park benches so they have nowhere to sleep even if it means he can’t stop and rest at the park
This priveliged dipshit should more rightly have said, "I love what they've done with the economy. " Ever since Republican Reagan and his ilk kicked the mentally ill to the curb, and started funneling all the money up to the 1% elites, thereby gutting the middle-class, the U.S. homeless population has grown exponentially. What a sad, heartless POS is this video poster. Where the fuck does this clown expect people to live when they can't afford housing? To go film and criticize peopl who are down and out is despicable.
Homeless camps are all over the U.S., especially in warmer climate areas (wouldn't you rather be homeless where it's warmer?) To ignorantly call them all Democrats shows the level of manipulation by Fox to which you've been subjected. In 2020 I did a lot of door-to-door, get-out-the-vote canvassing , and I was always surprised when I would encounter poor, angry, and threatening Trumpers living in really shitty housing. They undoubtedly owned TVs though, allowing their brain washers easy and wanted access to their confused minds.
Note: your inevitable “ripped from the fox news debate playbook” response is meaningless. Your statement was profoundly ignorant and reductive. Better yourself.
Been to both places extensively. I’m not a fan of California, but I don’t think they’re remotely comparable. Rio is one of the most dangerous cities in the world and the crime rates listed are hilariously low because so much goes unreported.
70,000 homeless kids in Oklahoma. Massive problem for everyone everywhere…It’s maybe our biggest problem as a country that gets little to no media attention and immigrants pour in every day at the border while lots of people struggle. Guy in his car coming across pretty ignorant is a understatement. It’s really sad I wish we could put a real dent in the American homeless situation.
The Mormon Church has amassed around $100-$200 BILLION dollars in their investment portfolios. I know in Utah we spend about $33million per year on homelessness. So if ONE BILLION is 1,000 Million dollars -- the Mormon church could double the funds spent on Utah's Homelessness problem for the next 30 years. Not that money always solves these problems but it generally helps in terms of providing shelter, medical care, job training, counseling, food, clothing etc. There are 50 states in the U.S. -- so maybe they could take $50 BILLION of their fortune and actually do something good in the world instead of building a shopping mall in downtown SLC and bailing out Zion's bank back in 2008 housing crash.
Now if every RICH fucking church in America actually did charity work with their fortunes then I think we could likely end the lack of shelter and probably make a huge dent in the associated issues that come with lack of housing. (I'm not attacking the churches that do charitable work, I'm pointing out that the Mormon church has a massive fortune and it has not made any charitable donations with that fund -- it uses their annual tithing to cover charitable work but their investment funds just keep growing).
So...how the fuck does the Mormon church bring in that much? I thought they were like a scientology-esque branch of Christianity that not many people took seriously. Makes me not want to know how much the Christian Church/the Vatican bring in...
Immigrants and homelessness are likely not as connected as you seem to think. That said even if people care nothing for suffering of unhoused populations, it costs more in emergency services and healthcare to leave people like this than providing care and housing. You can look down on them but they will cost you less tax money to put a basic roof over their head and attempt to address their issues after.
Fuck the OP. Go get them some food and talk to them as human beings maybe you’ll understand why they are there. Not everyone gets the same cards dealt. My guess is your one paycheck away from joining them.
“When’s this city gonna come clean this up”
Idk buddy maybe when we have a society that doesn’t leave people in homelessness when they can’t afford rent and can’t get access to mental health and rehabilitative care. Dumb, disconnected from reality head ass
They're living like that because they've lost everything you judgemental Twat the last thing they need is some twat making tik tok bideos and making smart asd comments if I was her the dish would have hit you keep behaving like that someone is gonna seriously hurt you
What a smug dickhead, why shouldn't he have a cellphone ? he probably needs it to look for work, as for throwing stuff at your car you deliberately went during the day when most if them are away if you'd gone at night they'd have pulled you out the car and gave you the beating you're begging for
There are very few people who would live like this unless they had no other choice. Housing prices are totally outrageous, wages are low, what do you expect?
I don't understand why we send money to Ukraine or other countries when we can't solve these problems? It sickens me! Every politician should be forced to live like this until they fix it.
Its disgusting. I work with the homeless and every night just in nyc alone there are 60,000+ documented homeless singles or families (meaning kids) in the shelter system. That doesn't include uncounted street homeless. Fuck you right the fuck off
How is it not cheaper to build wooden one room 10×10 feet rooms with a little outhouse and public showers for these people? And have trash pick up like a normal neighborhood does . Have some electrical outlets too.
Why mess with people? Live your life and let them live theirs. Do you think most of them live living like this? Why not try helping instead of trying to degrade people. Hand out snack bags or toiletries.
Op you are one bad day away from moving in with them. They don’t junk up the street for fun they survive the best they know how, help them the best you know how maybe that means just leaving them alone.
A friend I grew up with became homeless and froze to death in a park. I would rather my federal taxes were spent helping the homeless and mentally Ill than being sent overseas.
OP is literally a walking pile of garbage. I work with homeless people and people who have been homeless. It can happen to almost anyone. I hate the, “if you’re homeless why do you have a phone/other nice thing” argument too. Are poor people not allowed to have anything?
My heart hurts for these people and I hope they can stay safe and get back on their feet soon. If anyone here is going through rough times look into local, government programs to see what’s out there to help or local charities. Do not be scared to ask for help! I’ve struggled through tough times myself and a lot of us empathize.
With everyone, fuck OP. I hope karma puts him on the street. But the kids in the beginning look so young.. it’s really heart breaking to see. And for a grown man to harass these babies already struggling. This hurts.
Fuck you OP. There's a way to make a point and then there's being an asshole. I don't trust that you didn't fuck with these people before your video started hence the anger you got from homeless people you were filming.
Get a fucking life outside of harassing homeless people. Start an organization to help house the homeless or something. Just stop being a fucking asshole towards marginalized populations for stupid internet clout.
Dudes a fucking asshole. Let's pick on homeless people and complain about how somebody else needs to solve this problem. Hey maybe instead you can ask them how you can help. What can you do to help them get off the streets you piece of shit.
If you want something actually mildly wholesome check out the YT channel Soft White Underbelly he interviews and helps people who are living in skid row mainly. It’s pretty dope.
What kind of person drives around harassing people who are obviously down on their luck? You should be ashamed of yourself. You are the crazy one, not them. Who are you to judge them? If anything, you should help them and give them kind words so they can enjoy some part of their day.
This guy is just posting videos of him being a bad person harassing homeless and usually PoC on this subreddit and others. He’s a bad actor and in a couple other posts people were theorizing he’s a nazi (idk the reasoning but guys an asshole so idgaf) so he’s probably a nazi
Fuck redditors that say what he was doing is wrong. If you’re law abiding, pay taxes and work everyday it’s not unreasonable to expect the city to deal with that shit. Fuck everyone who says otherwise.
I think it may be a little deeper than him just harassing homeless people for everyone who is slamming him for not being sympathetic about the people living on the sidewalk. Maybe he was just a dick. Or maybe he freaked out because there is almost nothing an individual can do if the local government doesn’t want to enforce where the homeless can and can’t set up camp. To act as if his concerns are not genuine or valid because they are directed toward homeless individuals makes no sense. Take a second and put yourself in his shoes. It is easy to come up with many genuine concerns he must have, along with problems caused by this camp being close to your home/kids/work.
I’ve got to ask… How is that mildly satisfying?
More like r/sadanddepressing
r/lostredditor
OP has posted several videos of himself harassing the homeless and seems to miss the nuances of the housing crisis and systemic discrimination. That or he just enjoys harassing people and making himself feel superior.
Is that Pr0PAnE!!!!
Hank Hill doesn't care how you live, only that you have propane to cook with properly.
Time to start the flaaaamee propane 🎶 Edit: Lahey knew this years ago
What discrimination if you have no job and no money you can't afford a house. No discrimination there
Well, it might be more insightful to look at the reasons why these individuals are in this situation in the first place. Discrimination limits the opportunities afforded to many and can force them down a path in which being poor is punished with higher fees, therefore exacerbating their situation. Of course their finances are not the only areas that are impacted.

I love how people are so disgusted with homeless having a cell phone. That shit ain’t as much as rent. How you gonna get a job without a phone? What the fuck do you want from these people man?
Systemic discrimination? Those were white people. You mean "drug addiction". FTFY
Stop voting Democrat and California wouldn't look like shit
Republicans would have a gun in every hand.
Better than the rampant amount of homeless people who all need help. The biggest cities in the country vote Democrat and they all have this issue
SyStEMaTiC DiScRiMiNaTiOn.. drug addicts and drifters.. and you are the enabler that’s sitting at the table while this place burns saying everything is fine!
One thing is being homeless another is sitting around and not even trying, just getting your government check and doing drugs. Why should society suffer because these people refuse to do anything productive.
Sounds like the majority of republicans in red states collecting welfare or mental checks.
The only satisfying part was her telling him off.
Seriously. This guy seems like a douche.
He is. Someone who has never experienced hardship or worked with the homeless, only surface-level understands (most things), then forms judgment. The truly douchey part is not keeping it to himself, not keeping his horribleness confined…no, he has to be waving his ignorance around for all to see.
And that was VERY satisfying!
Yeah seriously wtf. Of course they have a phone. It’s necessary.
I liked her throwing the bottle at him
I think you should offer up space in front of your residence for the homeless. Make a difference in the world
Do you take in homeless people? I always find it ironic, that people still say this like it's some sort of valid point. Those of us who actually *do* take in homeless people, are very appreciative of the people using their words and voices to remove the stigma around homelessness. WTF are YOU doing?
Came here to ask the same thing
Thanks for letting us know
Yea wrong sub
Reporting for misclassification - this shouldn’t be on here.
I literally have the same ?. Maybe the woman standing up for herself.
The guy recording is literally harassing people already down on their luck from the satety of his car. What a prick.
I agree, either help them or fuck off.
[удалено]
Everyone does drugs. Rich people do the most fucking drugs.
I know you’re being a cunt but to answer your question honestly. Food, water, socks, blanket, baby wipes, toilet paper, sleeping bag or just ask them what you can do to help.
Man i get why you're reacting this way but i get his point of view also. I've lived near something like this and by a drug den. Walking home from work or to the store at night just wasn't safe.
Especially when you start chirping the people living in tents
Imagine you don’t have a home to walk to. That’s very unsafe all the time
Except he's not filming and harassing the people responsible for this mess. He's filming and harassing the victims of it.
i lived in a neighborhood like that, a crackhead lady wandered around our neighborhood and used the ditch we lived next to to get into the wooded area behind our house so she could go smoke with her buddies. my stepdad had to chew her out once because she was trying to talk to my little sister who was playing in the backyard. she somehow didnt see my 6 foot tall stepdad standing right there. of course when the cops were called there was nothing they could do since she didnt enter the property and left when told to leave.
He’s upset they threw something at his car…. What a douche
I'm upset that the thrown object didn't connect to his head. There's still hope...
How? They are in public. They have no expectation of privacy. They are committing crimes. They have no expectation of not being recorded while in the commission of those crimes.

Yeah this video isn’t gonna get the attention you thought you were gonna get. I’d remove it now if I were you. Harassing homeless people….? Not it.
This dipshit does this stuff all the time. Looks like he made a brand new account just to keep it up.
Did that guy really have a CELL PHONE! What has this city come to 🙄
OP IS A KNOWN TROLL Op gets his account banned every few days for posting stuff like this. He usually will continue the process just to troll.
What’s satisfying about harassing the homeless? I’m sorry, you can hate the mess but this isn’t helpful. Speaking from someone who was a frontline worker.
It also makes it extra dangerous to try to reach out to these people! This kind of abuse contributes to the trauma! Sorry just super mad.
You're being trolled. Don't even engage
you’re an actual dipshit for posting this
lmao don’t think anyone could’ve said it better
You must really hate yourself OP to be posting videos bashing the poor. Some people can't even afford to fucking live anymore and you gotta post shit like this.
What a stupid fucking video.
I hate when these videos squirm into my feed, this is pointless and also irritating to see. Nothing mildly satisfying about this.
What Jim here doesn't quite get, is that these people aren't out here for a holiday.

Dear GOD man, read a history book or a decent newspaper. “That’s California…that’s democrats” what a PROFOUNDLY ignorant, reductive statement.
Homeless camps are all over the U.S., especially in warmer climate areas (wouldn't you rather be homeless where it's warmer?) To ignorantly call them all Democrats shows the level of manipulation by Fox to which you've been subjected. In 2020 I did a lot of door-to-door, get-out-the-vote canvassing , and I was always surprised when I would encounter poor, angry, and threatening Trumpers living in really shitty housing. They undoubtedly owned TVs though, allowing their brain washers easy and wanted access to their confused minds.
Note: your inevitable “ripped from the fox news debate playbook” response is meaningless. Your statement was profoundly ignorant and reductive. Better yourself.
as someone who is a democrat, i definitely would not want to live like this. not my lifestyle
Heart breaking to see third world countries that are too poor to provide social safety nets for the vulnerable members of their society.
Literally California
US*
I love when people who have never been to one of the biggest states describe it.
Equivalent of a 3rd world country. The nice parts are nice. The rest isn't.
I mean, brazil is in fact a third world country and is in better shape than that lol is violent as fuck, poor as fuck, but even poor people have roofs
Been to both places extensively. I’m not a fan of California, but I don’t think they’re remotely comparable. Rio is one of the most dangerous cities in the world and the crime rates listed are hilariously low because so much goes unreported.
Shows you how sheltered some are when they think Brasil is better than California lol.
They have no idea. Put some of those gangsters from Compton in Rio and they’ll be shitting their pants after first sundown.
*first world*
Person filming is a piece of shit
All of his videos equally suck. This guy is genuine trash.
70,000 homeless kids in Oklahoma. Massive problem for everyone everywhere…It’s maybe our biggest problem as a country that gets little to no media attention and immigrants pour in every day at the border while lots of people struggle. Guy in his car coming across pretty ignorant is a understatement. It’s really sad I wish we could put a real dent in the American homeless situation.
The Mormon Church has amassed around $100-$200 BILLION dollars in their investment portfolios. I know in Utah we spend about $33million per year on homelessness. So if ONE BILLION is 1,000 Million dollars -- the Mormon church could double the funds spent on Utah's Homelessness problem for the next 30 years. Not that money always solves these problems but it generally helps in terms of providing shelter, medical care, job training, counseling, food, clothing etc. There are 50 states in the U.S. -- so maybe they could take $50 BILLION of their fortune and actually do something good in the world instead of building a shopping mall in downtown SLC and bailing out Zion's bank back in 2008 housing crash. Now if every RICH fucking church in America actually did charity work with their fortunes then I think we could likely end the lack of shelter and probably make a huge dent in the associated issues that come with lack of housing. (I'm not attacking the churches that do charitable work, I'm pointing out that the Mormon church has a massive fortune and it has not made any charitable donations with that fund -- it uses their annual tithing to cover charitable work but their investment funds just keep growing).
Will never happen...ever. Without the poor the rich churches don't have any thing to beg about.
Solving homelessness in America would cost about $20B, and the cost goes down after the initial properties are purchased.
So...how the fuck does the Mormon church bring in that much? I thought they were like a scientology-esque branch of Christianity that not many people took seriously. Makes me not want to know how much the Christian Church/the Vatican bring in...
Immigrants and homelessness are likely not as connected as you seem to think. That said even if people care nothing for suffering of unhoused populations, it costs more in emergency services and healthcare to leave people like this than providing care and housing. You can look down on them but they will cost you less tax money to put a basic roof over their head and attempt to address their issues after.
Those damn immigrants giving all those kids mental health issues and making them take drugs. Must be the same ones that stole the election!
You're a cunt. Plain and simple. Help fix the situation or go back to crying on your couch.
This is the opposite of satisfying, just some asshole harassing people
Fuck the OP. Go get them some food and talk to them as human beings maybe you’ll understand why they are there. Not everyone gets the same cards dealt. My guess is your one paycheck away from joining them.
Yeah this guy has made several videos of him being a total piece of shit just disregard this trash can of a human being
“When’s this city gonna come clean this up” Idk buddy maybe when we have a society that doesn’t leave people in homelessness when they can’t afford rent and can’t get access to mental health and rehabilitative care. Dumb, disconnected from reality head ass
Speaking from someone who was homeless at one point…stop treating people like this. It makes you a terrible person.
r/lostredditors
Stop harassing people and do something positive to fix the situation if it bothers you.
The colonizer strikes again!!!
r/lostredditors
Dude is gonna get jumped by the wrong one some day.
Not sure how having a cell phone means anything. They are literally free in America
And with Mint Mobile, you to can have an affordable plan too!
I am glad for living in czech republic.
Not satisfying at all
Don’t bother people man shits annoying
Everyone gets an L for this
I was waiting for someone to smash his window so I could be mildly satisfied
Wow dick move recording the homeless and mocking them like this. Blame capitalism not them.
I have lost faith in humanity...Whoever posted, you suck.
They're living like that because they've lost everything you judgemental Twat the last thing they need is some twat making tik tok bideos and making smart asd comments if I was her the dish would have hit you keep behaving like that someone is gonna seriously hurt you
What a smug dickhead, why shouldn't he have a cellphone ? he probably needs it to look for work, as for throwing stuff at your car you deliberately went during the day when most if them are away if you'd gone at night they'd have pulled you out the car and gave you the beating you're begging for
YTA
To be fair, I'd beat his ass for treating me like a zoo animal, too.
This belongs in r/imatotalpieceofshit because that’s what op is
You gotta be a sick fuck to blame homeless people for being homeless. Jesus Christ what is wrong with people.
I’d actually really like to fight this guy, seems like a complete waste of skin.
Only thing Im pissed off at is the asshole holding the camera
If OP is camera guy… then OP is a cunt.
r/Imapieceofshit
Why even mess with them? Go on about your day you pos
Cell phone are cheaper than housing…just saying
There are very few people who would live like this unless they had no other choice. Housing prices are totally outrageous, wages are low, what do you expect?
I don't understand why we send money to Ukraine or other countries when we can't solve these problems? It sickens me! Every politician should be forced to live like this until they fix it.
Wow dude recording (assuming OP) is a total piece of shit. Can’t wait for the video where he gets his ass beat.
VideoMatt is a dipshit instigator, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets himself into a bad situation.
dude, fuck off 🙄
What a dick head.
Fuck this dude. Double fuck him. He has no clue what these people are dealing with.
Fucking loser filming this crap.
This guy is such a friggin douche
r/lostredditors Also the person in this video is a dickhead
Fuck you, OP
This guy is a douche. It's a great thing if you're one of the lucky ones that has propane to cook with.
Ah this guy’s back. Can’t wait to watch you delete this account too.
Why do you insist on shoving your dumb videos in these subs? Nobody likes you or your videos
Is this the same dude that just harasses homeless people? Either way doing it once or multiple times still makes you a dick.
OP is a tool for harassing people down on their luck.
Really ignorant and cruel to harass homeless people! He better hope Karma doesn’t come looking for him or he’ll be their neighbor!
r/iamatotalpieceofshit
Always money for war or to bail out banks... But never enough money to help out our own citizens.
Whoever recorded this needs a big veiny dick slap across the cheekbone
The asshole in the car will get himself killed soon!
Its disgusting. I work with the homeless and every night just in nyc alone there are 60,000+ documented homeless singles or families (meaning kids) in the shelter system. That doesn't include uncounted street homeless. Fuck you right the fuck off
How is it not cheaper to build wooden one room 10×10 feet rooms with a little outhouse and public showers for these people? And have trash pick up like a normal neighborhood does . Have some electrical outlets too.
This guys an asshole
Why mess with people? Live your life and let them live theirs. Do you think most of them live living like this? Why not try helping instead of trying to degrade people. Hand out snack bags or toiletries.
Op you are one bad day away from moving in with them. They don’t junk up the street for fun they survive the best they know how, help them the best you know how maybe that means just leaving them alone.
A friend I grew up with became homeless and froze to death in a park. I would rather my federal taxes were spent helping the homeless and mentally Ill than being sent overseas.
all these comments and OP is nowhere to be found. OP is scared sitting on the sidelines lol
Dude, stay on your side of town and get the eff out of there with your whiny ass before you get hurt. No one likes it but this is life now.
Oh, good, you made a new account. Old one got banned, huh? Bummer.
Dude you're a piece of shit
OP is literally a walking pile of garbage. I work with homeless people and people who have been homeless. It can happen to almost anyone. I hate the, “if you’re homeless why do you have a phone/other nice thing” argument too. Are poor people not allowed to have anything? My heart hurts for these people and I hope they can stay safe and get back on their feet soon. If anyone here is going through rough times look into local, government programs to see what’s out there to help or local charities. Do not be scared to ask for help! I’ve struggled through tough times myself and a lot of us empathize.
Who ever filmed this is a low class dirtbag. Poor people have enough issues without harrassment.
OP, you're a giant POS. Leave these people alone. You think they want to be homeless?
What an asshole...
Leave them alone asshole. They didn't ask to be born into a society..
What a fucking cunt. Try living in their shoes for a day.
Late stage capitalism
With everyone, fuck OP. I hope karma puts him on the street. But the kids in the beginning look so young.. it’s really heart breaking to see. And for a grown man to harass these babies already struggling. This hurts.
Fuck you OP. There's a way to make a point and then there's being an asshole. I don't trust that you didn't fuck with these people before your video started hence the anger you got from homeless people you were filming. Get a fucking life outside of harassing homeless people. Start an organization to help house the homeless or something. Just stop being a fucking asshole towards marginalized populations for stupid internet clout.
Dudes a fucking asshole. Let's pick on homeless people and complain about how somebody else needs to solve this problem. Hey maybe instead you can ask them how you can help. What can you do to help them get off the streets you piece of shit.
Get out of here Matt. You are doing this in twitter as well, nobody is going to support you man
They’re homeless. Why are you harassing them? Shit would be hard enough living on the street.
If you want something actually mildly wholesome check out the YT channel Soft White Underbelly he interviews and helps people who are living in skid row mainly. It’s pretty dope.
you really seem like a douche
What kind of person drives around harassing people who are obviously down on their luck? You should be ashamed of yourself. You are the crazy one, not them. Who are you to judge them? If anything, you should help them and give them kind words so they can enjoy some part of their day.
OP, take a long walk off a short pier.
I recognize this guys voice. Pretty sure he just hates homeless people.
We’re all just one medical bill away from joining them
Sir, YOU could help the city clean it up. Do better.
This guy is just posting videos of him being a bad person harassing homeless and usually PoC on this subreddit and others. He’s a bad actor and in a couple other posts people were theorizing he’s a nazi (idk the reasoning but guys an asshole so idgaf) so he’s probably a nazi
Dont help, just film. This guy is a huge piece of shit and coward to boot.
I heard the orange tent is on the market what’s the asking price?
Where is this at Commiefornia?
What a lax HOA wonderful.
Maybe satisfying she broke her bat dinner ware
The great work of liberal states on the west coast. All look the same. Let keep voting this lifestyle in office. It's working well.
It's a shame that California politics led to this disgrace.
Maybe you should think about next time you vote
This is caused by leftist ideology.
Welcome to the world of liberal ‘leadership’. 😂😂😂. Let Cali burn. We don’t care.
Extremely satisfying 🤤🤤
Democrats destroy states, counties, neighborhoods, families, and lives. They have destroyed California this is where this video was captured.
Nice mountain bike cell phones and Wi-Fi and nice weather year round to camp
Fuck redditors that say what he was doing is wrong. If you’re law abiding, pay taxes and work everyday it’s not unreasonable to expect the city to deal with that shit. Fuck everyone who says otherwise.
I think it may be a little deeper than him just harassing homeless people for everyone who is slamming him for not being sympathetic about the people living on the sidewalk. Maybe he was just a dick. Or maybe he freaked out because there is almost nothing an individual can do if the local government doesn’t want to enforce where the homeless can and can’t set up camp. To act as if his concerns are not genuine or valid because they are directed toward homeless individuals makes no sense. Take a second and put yourself in his shoes. It is easy to come up with many genuine concerns he must have, along with problems caused by this camp being close to your home/kids/work.
